<p>85.176.210.59: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:BeWelcome_Logo.jpg‎|thumb|The logo of BeWelcome|300px]]<br /> <br /> '''Be Welcome''' is a project aiming to connect people from all over the world through [[hospitality exchange]] and to allow them to learn about other cultures, countries and traditions. It was founded in 2006 by volunteers of [[Hospitality Club]] who experienced the limits of decision making, transparency and legal structure within the management of HC.<br /> Thus an official NGO was founded in July 2006. First called HCvol it's final name is BeVolunteer.org. <br /> <br /> The first beta website of the project BeWelcome was launched in February 2007. A second upgrade was carried through at the end of June 2007, the third and actual Version was introduced in the beginning of December 2007. In 2007 various volunteers of [[CouchSurfing]], spreading &quot;Open CS&quot; also joined the volunteers network.<br /> <br /> Check http://www.bewelcome.org<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why use BeWelcome? ==<br /> <br /> BeWelcome has a few nice things to point out:<br /> * A good reply rate to accomodation requests (afaik)<br /> * A quite responsive community of volunteers<br /> * Openness for ideas from the community.<br /> * If you like the interface, that's one more point. If you don't, well, then not.<br /> <br /> Why would someone not use BeWelcome?<br /> * not as many members as some other networks. You don't get that many requests, and you don't have that much choice in small places.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> See [[History of BeWelcome]]<br /> <br /> == Philosophy ==<br /> See [[Philosophy of BeWelcome]] <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> The Software which runs BeWelcome[http://sourceforge.net/projects/bw-rox/]<br /> <br /> Article on BeWelcome [http://www.idealist.org/en/org/166947-211]<br /> <br /> Wikitravel about BeWelcome [http://wikitravel.org/en/Hospitality_exchange#BeWelcome]<br /> <br /> Canvi article about BeWelcome (Catalan) [http://www.cambio16.info/canvi/pdf/107.pdf]<br /> <br /> Indymedia article about Media and BeWelcome [http://de.indymedia.org/2007/11/198280.shtml]<br /> <br /> more ?<br /> <br /> ----<br /> :''From http://www.hospitalityguide.net/hg/wiki/index.php?title=BeWelcome&amp;action=edit&amp;oldid=5616''<br /> {{Hospitality service}}</div>
